of the Client or prospective Client's needs comes FIRST
- even if doing so means we don't get hired.
SPCC
Compliance Services
ECA performs all aspects of
Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC)
compliance work. We will help you determine whether or
not your facility even requires an SPCC Plan (a Spill
Response Plan may suffice). If an SPCC Plan is necessary,
we will prepare one that meets all criteria of the most
current revision of 40 CFR 112.7, the EPA's Spill
Regulation. If you already have SPCC Plans in place, we
will bring you into compliance with a less-expensive
rewrite.

Geophysical
Surveying Services
ECA performs geophysical surveys
that accomplish several objectives that include
1)determining depth to bedrock (seismic method), 2)
establishing IBC Site Class via Refraction Microtremor -
ReMi (seismic method), 3) locating buried metallic debris
and drums (magnetic method), 4) delineating boundaries of
solid waste management units - SWMUs (electromagnetic
method), and 5) locating buried utilities, piping, and
tanks (ground penetrating radar - GPR method)).
Geological
Site Assessments
(aka Geological Hazard
Surveys)
ECA performs geological site
assessments of properties (and surrounding land), to
address county growth management concerns.
Phase 2
ESAs
Phase 2 environmental site assessments include subsurface
investigations, soil and groundwater analyses, and air
quality studies, in order to determine if any hazardous
materials have adversely affected the site environment
(soil, groundwater, and air). The Phase 2 report includes
data interpretation and a summary evaluation, as well as
recommendations for remedial actions.
Property
Condition Assessments (PCAs)
ECA is a dual-scope provider of
PCAs and Phase 1 ESAs, so you avoid paying for TWO
separate assessors on the same job!
Phase 1
ESAs
Phase 1 environmental site assessments (ESAs) provide
background and historical information to determine
previous site usage; provide an overview of local soils,
geology, and hydrogeology; and of course provide a
current assessment of operational conditions.
Evaluations are made by reviewing available public
records, interviewing appropriate parties, and then
performing a detailed site reconnaissance to identify any
existing or potential environmental liabilities that
exist at, or adjacent to, the subject property. ECA provides comprehensive due
diligence Phase 1 ESAs, as per ASTM Standard E 1527, at
reasonable Lump-Sum costs.

Phase 3 Alternatives
The Phase 3 process involves the selection and design of
a remedial methodology, the development of a cost / time
budget, and the implementation of actual remediation
procedures. Upon completion, a final report is submitted
to the oversight agency (local, state, or federal
regulator) that is requesting closure of the site. Once
closure or a no further action status is granted, the
property is then ready for use.
